' CONSCRIPTION AGREED ON.

Conference Adjusts Difference* in
House and Senate Measures.?To
Ilegin Registration at Once.
Washington. May 1 a.?The long
deadlock of senate and house conferees
on the selective draft military
bill was broken today with agreement
on a compromise measure under
which a great war army would be I
raised by selective conscription of
men between the ages of 21 and 30.
inclusive.
The conference report is expected
to be given approval by both senate
and house within a few days and
within two weeks after the president
has affixed his signature registration
of those eligible for conscription will
be under way throughout the country.
Some States already have selected
their registration boards and the
war department has erected a vast
and intricate war machine for assigning
and organizing the conscripts.
They will be assembled at training
camps in September.
Compromise Satisfactory.
The compromise bill is understood
to be generally satisfactory to the
administration and to the army general
staff, on whose advice the orig"
inal measure was framed. The most
important change made in congress
was in the age limits, fixed by the
staff at 1 9 to 25. inclusive. The sen.
ate made them 21 to 27 and the
house 21 and 40. The ages named in
the conference agreement are 21 and
30 inclusive, making the draft applicable
to all male voters under 31.
Roosevelt Proposition.
Although there has been no direct
- authoritative expression from the
white house regarding the Roosevelt
volunteer proposal, administration
opposition to it has been inferred
from the fact that no provision for
volunteers was contained in the bill
as sent to congress from the war department.
With the Roosevelt proposal
the conferees also threw out a
similar amendment under which
three regiments of volunteers could
have been enlisted for service on the
.
Mexican border.
Exemption From DraftThe
section dealing with exemp .
tions from draft was unwritten in
part by the conference committee and
provision was made for hearings in
>
exemption applications before local
\ civil triounais, wua tne ngni 01 appeal
to a second tribunal and finally
to the president.
Two of the house conferees refused
to sign the conference report.
Representative Anthony, of Kansas,
would not accept it because the
Roosevelt amendment was striken
out. Representative Kahn. of California,
would not agree to the prohibition
amendment, contending that
it reflected on the moral standards of
the nation anc} that regulatory pro?'
* visions should be left to the president.
MUST MAKE MANY SACRIFICES.
"War Against Germany Means Grim
_ Business Every Way.
( 1 "
Washington, May 12.?President
Wilson said in a public address here
today that the struggle against Germany
"means grim business on every
side of it," but that America had put
its heart into the task and would respond
as a united nation to the call
to service.
Speaking of the dedication of a
Red Cross memorial for the women
of the war between the States, the
president predicted that the present
ctrncrerlo nnt nnlv wnulri nhlUprflfp thp
ou V*J3?VV ?
last division between the North and
South/but would wipe out "any lines
either of race or association cutting
athwart the great body of the nation."
Look for Xo Profit.
"We look for no profit." said he.
"We will accept no advantage out of
this war. We go because we believe
the very principles on which the
American republic was founded are
now at stake and must be vindicated."
Former President Taft introduced
Mr. Wilson as the nation's leader in
the greatest war in history, a war
whose sacrifices we cannot realize."
Secretary Baker formally presented
the memorial building to the Red
Cross society and the president's address
was made in accepting it as
Honorary neaci or me society.
Handsome Building.
The building, a handsome $800.000
structure built by the government,
was dedicated to both the
women of the North and South.
Mr. Wilson declared that although
the United States had gone into the
war "with no special grievance of our
own." the cost might be sufferings
and sacrifices of such magnitude that
those of the civil war would seem infinitessimal.
To the end that the
best use be made of aid to alleviate
conditions he urged that all philanthropic
efforts be directed through
organized channels, such as the Red
Cross.

Senate Approves Bill Forbidding I'se
of Brain for Liquor.
Washington. .Alay 12.?The first
I legislative move toward conservation
of the nation's food resources and a
long step toward an absolutely dry
1'nited States was taken tonight by
the senate in approving, 38 to 2. an
amendment to the administration espionage
bill forbidding during the
war the use of cereals or grain in the
manufacture of intoxicating liquor.
By a majority of one vote the senate
also threw out of the bill the
administration's press censorship section
and then voted /overwhelming
ly not to put in a modified section as
was done in the house. This action
is expected to throw the censorship
fight into conference, where the influence
of the administration can he
brought to bear more directly.
Prohibition Amendment.
The prohibition amendment was
adopted under a resolution limiting
debate sharply and there were only
brief speeches on each side. Just
previously the senate had voted
down, 4 7 to 25. a proposal to forbid
sale of intoxicants during the war.
Effective September 1 the amendment
is calculated to confine sale and
consumption to whiskey and other
grain liquors already in stock and to
wines, brandies or other drinks that
depend on other materials for their
main constituents.
Another opportunity to vote upon
it will be offered when the senate
takes the bill with the amendment
from the committee of the whole, but
opponents of the prohibitory provision
are not confident that they will
be able to overturn today's action.
Loss in I {even ues.
Estimates during the debate were
that at least $200,000,000 annually
internal revenues would be lost if the
amendment stands.
Elimination of the press censorship
section ended a long and bitter
fight. The vote was 39 to 3S. Opportunity
will come also for another
vote on this section and the administration
is expected to make an effort
to have the senate reverse itself.
The prohibition amendment, proposed
by Senator Cummins, Republican,
of Iowa, reads as follows:
"That on and after September 1,
1917, during the period of the war
with the imperial government of Germany,
it shall be unlawful to use o?
employ, directly or indirectly, any
cereal, grain, sugar or syrup in the
production of intoxicating liquor in
any form or of any kind; provided
that nothing in this section shall prevent
the use of sugar or syrup in the
manufacture of wines as now authorized
by existing law; provided
further, that this section shall not
be construed to make unlawful the
manufacture of alcohol or intoxicat
iag liquor for industrial, mechanical,
medicinal, sacramental or scientific
purposes under rules and regulations
to be established by the secretary of
the treasury.
"A violation of this section would
be punished by a fine of not more
than $3,000 or imprisonment for not
more than three years, or both."
OFF TO TRAINING CAMP.
Over Two Hundred South Carolinians
Go to Fort OgIethori>^'
S
Columbia, May 14.?Two hundred
and fifty young South Carolinians,
potential officers in the national
army, which is to be mobilized later
in the summer, entrained in Columbia
yesterday afternoon for the training
camp at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.
Failure by some to receive official
notification until late yesterday
somewhat reduced the contemplated
number. Only 31 of the Charleston
contingent came up from the Sea Gull
city. The number enlisting from
Charleston is much in excess of that
figure, but camp communications,
which did not arrive in Charleston
* "' i? ?1,_ m/M.nin<r <">rm 1H linT

be delivered in time for all the enlisted
men to get away on the Carolina
Special.
The special, composed of six Pullman
cars, a diner, one day coach and
a baggage car, will take the men directly
to the camp. Another Pullman
was to be attached in Asheville.
A stop of one hour will be made in
Chattanooga this morning for breakfast.
Schedules call for the arrival
at Fort Oglethorpe at 7:30 o'clock
this morning. S. H. McLean, district
passenger agent, is looking to
the comfort of the passengers on the
trip.
Approximately l.000 people were
at the train for a parting word.
